Charles Jenkins agreed to play for Red Star of Belgrade in the Serbian league next season.

Some fantasy owners may remember Jenkins' fantastic finish in his rookie season while Stephen Curry missed time in 2012, averaging 16.5 points and 8.5 assists in the last four games of the season, but he fell off and the Sixers did not send him a qualifying offer earlier this month. The 24-year-old guard may be stuck overseas for a while. Thu, Jul 25, 2013 09:57:00 AM

The 76ers did not extend a qualifying offer to Charles Jenkins, making him an unrestricted FA.

The 23-year-old Jenkins has already drawn interest from Maccabi Tel Aviv, but he wants to gauge his value in the NBA before agreeing to play overseas. He averaged 2.5 points per game in 12 appearances with the Sixers last season. Mon, Jul 1, 2013 01:06:00 AM

Jenkins wants to test the NBA market before looking overseas, however, so Maccabi's interest is likely to remain unresolved for at least a few more weeks. He played 59 games with the Warriors and 76ers last season, but never scored more than eight points in a game. Sun, Jun 16, 2013 08:56:00 PM

Charles Jenkins will start Friday's game against the Heat at shooting guard.

Jenkins is a better player than Royal Ivey and has a brighter future. He'll guard Mario Chalmers while point guard Jrue Holiday deals with Dwyane Wade. We'd still look to sixth man Dorell Wright if scraping for a fantasy play here. Nick Young (ankle) is out. Fri, Mar 8, 2013 06:54:00 PM

Jerryd Bayless (wrist) will not play against the Pelicans on Thursday.

He didn't even travel with the team. The 76ers were listing Bayless as questionable last week for his wrist soreness, but they're ruling him out early for every game so far this week. Sergio Rodriguez will continue to start and get the lion's share of the PG minutes, so he's a hold in standard leagues until Bayless gets back on the court. T.J. McConnell will get the backup minutes.

76ers head coach said the team is committed to using Ben Simmons (foot) as their point guard once he's ready to return.

Simmons is targeting a January return and Brown said the team will waste no time putting the ball in his hands once he's healthy. "When he’s ready to go to the court, my intention is to give him the ball and let him be the point guard," Brown said. "That’s the plan. That doesn’t just happen. It takes a little bit of time to introduce him." While Simmons is an intriguing stash, he's likely to have his minutes managed upon his return and is tough to roster in standard leagues.

Jahlil Okafor (gastroenteritis) has officially been ruled out for Thursday's game vs. New Orleans.

He remained home in Philly as he recovers from his illness. Okafor's next chance to play will be on Saturday vs. Detroit. Joel Embiid will play 28 minutes on Thursday with Richaun Holmes backing him up.
